Greetings! Welcome to Zhidong’s personal website.

I am an experienced researcher in the fields of structural engineering and structural health monitoring. My interests are computational mechanics, computer vision, data analytics, and open-source software. I would like to advance resilient, healthy, and sustainable infrastructure with mechanics-based, data-driven approaches.

I enjoy playing badminton, hiking, and cooking.
